This story is a sequel to 2040: A Matter of Taste

Sky Diver has been "uploaded", getting his brain destroyed, scanned, and recreated as software in a VR world called Hoofland. Though on the surface it's an idyllic pony world, it's strange for being essentially a video game whose residents want to turn it into something more. The ordinary human players looking at Hoofland through a screen, though, have different ideas. Can you turn something silly and seemingly childish into a meaningful way to live? For Diver, the attempt is going to mean changing more than his game stats. There's a new equine culture being born here.

A short story written to answer the following question: Why wasn't Starlight Glimmer included in the episode "28 Pranks Later"?

The Sun is the Son of Princess Celestia.

Literally.

As you can imagine, having a celestial object for a child is quite a challenge.

There is sex but it isn't sexy or sexual.

After an amazing nap, Pinkie wakes up to find that something important is missing, her mane! It indicates her mood, helps with her Pinkie Sense, and just looks amazing! She must find it! A small SoL/Mystery story with a bit of small comedy.

When Celestia discovers the Queen of Cliffside—a golden pony with a red-streaked yellow mane, somepony very much like herself when she was a filly—she learns harsh lessons about the errors of her ways as she works to save Equestria from a curse: herself.  Sunset Shimmer, for her part, is not amused.  One of the pair proves more magical. Spoiler: They don't get along.

(Minor revisions made Sept 2017.)

Sunset Shimmer Goes to Hell is a sequel to this story told (mostly) in Sunset Shimmer's point of view. The backstory in this work, told in Celestia’s point of view, comes to life in To Bring Light to Eternal Darkness.

A big shout-out to my #1 pre-reader, Do Contra. Contrary to his belief, he has a pretty good editorial voice.

A Katana is whisked away to Equestria after it's owner is killed, and soon Celestia finds it and decides to play some pranks.

Trollestia (obviously) and rated Teen for no reason really.

Everfree Bliss doesn't know anything about herself. She lives and works with the Apple Family while looking for answers about her past. She makes friends who help her along the way to find both her past and her cutie mark. Everfree Bliss is also my OC. This story has multiple point of views the main ones being Applejack and Everfree Bliss. She is not a princess and never will be. She is not strong like her earth pony adopted family or as fast as her flight teacher Rainbow Dash or good with magic like Princess Twilight Sparkle.

"Hey Thorax?"

"Yeah, Spike?"

"Remember when you said you remember being different from the other changelings the day you were hatched?"

"...Yes?"

"Well, I asked Twilight about it and... Well, apparently nopony really remembers that far back in their lives."

Thorax flinched.

When Thorax made the plan to move to the Crystal Empire, he didn't think it would be so easy as it was. Then again, nothing ever goes according to plan. Thorax learns this the hard way. Having just convinced the rulers of the Crystal Empire, his first friend pops the question he did not want to hear.

Now, his story is quickly falling apart and his mind must work overtime to maintain his recent clemency.

After all, he's not a regular changeling. The ponies believe it too, just for different reasons.

Rated Teen for Language

This story is a sequel to The Villain

After many years of neglect and mistreatment, a seed of hatred was born in the heart of a baby dragon. From that hatred, Spike attained the power of the Eclipse Dragon, but it is not enough to slake the rage that clings to his very soul. He desires the complete destruction of Equestria to make the ponies pay for what they have done to him. He will use everything in his power to see them suffer. It is up to Twilight and her friends to stop his plans from coming to fruition. And perhaps, they will reach out to the kind friend that they once knew.

Sunset gets up in the middle of the night for a small midnight snack. Downstairs she finds Twilight awake as well, struggling to write the counter-spell. Sunset offers condolence, and ends up learning a big secret about Twilight. One that makes Sunset's heart flutter.

An extension of the Rainbow Rocks scene between Sunset & Twilight.
